I'd say keep them for 10-12 weeks. As far as dew claws, I'd have a vet do it for sure. At that time, they can also get a puppy exam, tails docked and dew claws removed. My vet charges like $10 per pup for all of that. DEFINETLY worth the money! Looking forward to seeing pictures of your new litter....mine is due around the same
